Tan Rourou looked at Lu Yuanbao's smiling face, and the pain in her chest finally subsided.
She said with a puffy face, "I'm not dumb, of course I can speak."
"So, do you play with blocks?"
"It's obviously you who doesn't want to play with blocks!"
"I didn't say I didn't want to play with blocks."
"Yes! You do! I asked you to play with building blocks, but you were talking to your cousin and didn't listen to me."
"I heard you say we can play later."
"No, you just don't! You just don't want to play with me."
Tan Rourou accused Lu Yuanbao in a coquettish tone, her face flushed and angry, but she did not turn her back and remained silent.
Lu Yuanbao thought that arguing all the time would not work, so he had to think of a solution.
He said, "How about we play with blocks in the morning and play with my cousin in the afternoon?"
"It's okay..." The little girl, still reluctant, had already reached out to touch the building blocks that Lu Yuanbao brought in and started playing with them. She also emphasized, "Then let's make a deal. You have to play with building blocks with me tomorrow morning. Anyway, my cousin is a big lazy bum and he can't get up in the morning! He won't play with you!"
"Okay, we have a deal."
Three days of noisy days passed like this.
Once again, it was almost time for Lu Zhanlin to come and pick up Lu Yuanbao to take him back to the guesthouse.
Tan Rourou held onto Lu Yuanbao's hand, refusing to let go, mumbling, "Do you really have to go back? We're just going back to the guesthouse to sleep. There's an empty room at home, and you can sleep here, too. Why leave?"
Fang Xiuli said from the side, "Rou Rou, stop making trouble."
Tan Rourou said, "I'm not making a fuss! Lu Yuanbao, we're having hot pot at home today! Aunt Chu bought the spicy hot pot base. Are you really not going to stay and eat with us?"
No matter how Tan Rourou tried to win him back, Lu Yuanbao still picked up his small backpack and prepared to go back.
"Rou Rou, I'm leaving."
Tan Rourou was in a bad mood and refused to see Lu Yuanbao out.
She turned around and ran up to the study on the second floor of the house.
There is a large balcony in the study on the second floor, and you can see outside from the balcony.
Tan Rourou saw Fang Xiuli taking Lu Yuanbao out. Lu Yuanbao suddenly stopped, looked up at the second floor, and immediately found Tan Rourou who was trying to hide.
Lu Yuanbao waved at her, "Rou Rou, I'm going back. Goodbye."
Even though Tan Rourou was unhappy, she still softly replied, "Goodbye," even though no one could hear her.
She hid in the gap of the second-floor balcony railing, watching Lu Yuanbao walk away step by step, and then saw Lu Yuanbao suddenly run and dash out.
Just because——
"Mother!"
The person who came to pick up Lu Yuanbao today was no longer just Lu Zhanlin, but Chu Yue also appeared together.
She had been busy at the medical school for so many days, and today she finally didn't have to come back until late at night.
"Yuanbao!"
Chu Yue opened her arms and hugged Lu Yuanbao who was running towards her. Her smile sparkled in the evening sun.
"Xiu Li, thank you for taking care of Yuan Bao these days."
"It's a simple matter. Taking care of Rourou is no different from taking care of several people. Yuanbao can also help me look after Rourou." Fang Xiuli asked, "Are you finally done with your work? Those old guys are finally willing to let you go."
Chu Yue's affairs were very well-known in the capital, and Fang Xiuli had to be unaware of it. She kept getting phone calls, saying they had heard that Fang Xiuli had a good relationship with Chu Yue, and asked if she could introduce them to Chu Yue so that she could help take care of the elderly in her family.
Fang Xiuli didn't want to cause trouble for Chu Yue, so she refused all of them.
From this we can see that Chu Yue is now a big celebrity in the capital circle.
Chu Yue smiled and said, "Even if I'm busy, I still have to have fun with the children. Tomorrow is my last day off."
Time passed so quickly that Fang Xiuli was in a daze.
Counting the days, Lu Zhanlin and Chu Yue have been in the capital for almost a week. Tomorrow is the last day of vacation, the day after tomorrow is the honor ceremony, and the day after that they will take the train back to the southwest and leave the capital.
With only one day left, Chu Yue ruthlessly rejected all invitations from the medical school and instead wanted to leave her time to Lu Yuanbao and her family.
On the way back, Lu Yuanbao was excited and in disbelief, and kept asking questions.
"Mom, you really don't have to go to work tomorrow?"
"Mom, can we really go out together tomorrow?"
"Mother……"
"Yes, there will be no one else there tomorrow, just our family." Chu Yue said simply, talking about her plan, "Yuan Bao, let's go to the department store tomorrow. Haven't you been there yet? Didn't you buy the train toy you promised to give to Chen Dazhuang?"
"Uh-huh."
"After going to the department store, we went to eat Tonglu hotpot. Tonglu hotpot is different from the hotpot we've had before. It's not spicy and fragrant, but it's a clear soup with lots of sesame paste. It's just as delicious."
"Then what?"
"Then, after we're full, let's find a place to walk around. We won't go to any tourist attractions, just somewhere nearby. There's a courtyard house nearby, let's go check it out."
Lu Zhanlin listened quietly to the conversation between Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao.
Lu Zhanlin took the initiative to ask, "Ayue, is there any place you want to go?"
Lu Yuanbao turned his head and looked at Chu Yue.
Chu Yue thought for a moment and said, "Yes, indeed. I have a place I want to go."
Lu Zhanlin: "Where?"
Lu Yuanbao: "Mom, where do you want to go?"
Chu Yue said with a hint of mystery, "Antique Street."
There is a particularly famous antique street in the capital city, where shops and stalls of all sizes sell all kinds of small gadgets claiming to be "antiques".
If you are lucky or have good eyesight, you may be able to find a bargain.
Although Chu Yue is not short of money now, who would complain about having too much money?
The feeling of finding a bargain is like opening a blind box and getting a hidden item. Not only is it fun, but you can also make money.
Now it is the seventies, and there may be more opportunities like this.
Chu Yue wanted to try her luck. If it weren't for the medical school matter, she would have gone there a long time ago.
Lu Zhanlin said, "I understand. I'm going to the department store tomorrow morning, eat Tonglu Hotpot at noon, and walk around Antique Street in the afternoon. What about tonight? What do you want to eat?"
He included Chu Yue's hobbies in his itinerary.
Lu Yuanbao suggested, "Let's go have some pear soup tonight. Rourou said it's delicious."
Lu Zhanlin and Chu Yue said in unison, "Okay, let's listen to Yuanbao. We'll go eat this tomorrow night."
The family of three happily decided on their journey for tomorrow.
